BYD’s passenger-car sales around the globe skyrocketed by 66% to 500,526 units for the month, surpassing Western competition such as Volkswagen, who are struggling to keep pace in the world’s biggest auto market.
How Did Sales Perform?
BYD has reported Q3 revenues at 201.1 billion yuan, or about $28.3 billion. That beats Tesla’s $25.2 billion for the same period.
These gains reflect the strong consumer incentives and subsidies in China, particularly in the final quarter when sales of EVs and hybrids are boosted by government policies.
BYD has experienced increased sales due to its plug-in hybrid models with 310,912 units delivered last month. Sales from purely electric vehicles account for the remaining units.
Hybrid models also have new models with stronger powertrains that are capable of giving a charge of over 2,000 kilometers for a single charge. Chinese car buyers, who require higher mileage capabilities, have favored this particular model.
